You shouldn't be drinking when you are eating. When I drink too soon before or after I eat something, I get nauseated and my pouch gets very pissed off at me. Maybe yours is doing the same. One of the first rules of this surgery is NEVER drink while eating, preferrably 30 minutes on each side, before and then after.
Secondly, you shouldn't be taking ibuprofen. It is an NSAID and we are not supposed to take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (i.e ibuprofen, Advil, motrin, Aleve, Naproxen, etc.) after having this surgery due to the increased risk of ulcer and GI problems. Change it to Tylenol. If you ever have an ulcer (like I had) you would NEVER even think of an anti-inflammatory going into your mouth again.
Try not drinking with food hopefully you will not have anymore pain like you experienced. This is a trial and error journey, as I'm sure you know being so long out, so just listen to your body.
